One of the most quoted movies of all time will be celebrated this Thursday.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail is one of the most classic cult comedies of all time. Our local Alamo Drafthouse knows this.
"That's right, one of the greatest and most quotable movies of all time is getting the Movie Party treatment and you can be there for all its sword fighting, coconut clomping glory at the Alamo Drafthouse," their event page says.

As usual, the theater has plenty of fun planned for the evening.
"We'll have swords for everyone, coconut halves for you to bring your imaginary horses to life, and a test of will, dexterity, and might prior to the show to recruit some brave knights to our cause (don't go second guessing your favorite colors now)," their event page says.

FRIDAY
Get spooked at the USS Lexington Haunted House
Spooktober isn't complete without a good old fashioned Haunted House. If you are looking for a good scare, the Lex has you covered.
The USS Lexington will be haunted from Oct. 11 through Nov. 2. They go all out for their Haunted House.
"The terrifying tour takes the bravest of souls down to the 2nd and 3rd decks of the WWII era aircraft carrier to spaces never before opened to the public," their website says.
Be prepared for some unfamiliar terrain if you dare to go.
"You should be ready to handle steep ladders, dark corridors, creaky hatchways and unimaginable sights, screams and sounds. This is an intense haunted experience – think twice before enlisting," their website says.
Groups of 10 or more are encouraged to ask about their Special VIP Pre-Sale Tickets. According to their event page, Castle of Terror Productions will donate $1 to a local charity for every ticket sold. The first 50 guests will get a free water bottle.
Ages 8 and up only. Find more info here.
